Texas Republican: Holder Resignation Good News for America

Texas Republican Congressman, Kevin Brady, Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee and senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, released the following statement regarding the news that United States Attorney General Eric Holder is announcing his resignation:

“Enforcing the laws of our nation is the chief job of the U.S. Attorney General and Eric Holder has repeatedly refused to do so. Holder leaves behind a record that includes ignoring the clearly unlawful behavior of IRS employee Lois Lerner, illegal gun-running to Mexican drug cartels and being held in contempt by the U.S. House of Representatives. This is why I and several other Republican House members called for his resignation a long time ago. His resignation is great news for the American people and we can only hope that the President nominates a successor who will be interested in enforcing all of the laws of our land, and not just the ones that are politically expedient for the White House.”
